Shooting Continued from Page 1A saw the two vehicles — a black pickup followed by a green jeep — pull into the parking lot beside the gas pumps outside the deli. The drivers left their vehicles and began to talk in the parking lot without pumping any gas. Musa later said it was as though they’d agreed to meet there. Then one of the men threw a punch. A fight ensued with the two men pushing, punching and throwing one another to the ground. A handful of customers outside the deli gathered in shock, and at least one pulled out a cell phone and called 911. In the store behind the counter, so did Musa. One of the men got to his feet and grabbed a long strip of wood from beside one of the pumps and started after the other. The two darted out of the sight of Musa’s security camera, but police who re- sponded to the scene later said the other man had grabbed a baseball bat. Then the man who had grabbed a stick went to his jeep and pulled out a handgun and shot, appar- ently hitting no one. Outside the two men who had been fighting con- tinued to talk for a couple of minutes, the security cameras showed, before they each got back in their vehicles and drove away. The whole thing had happened in about three or four minutes. Musa kept the doors locked about five more minutes until officers with the Columbus Police Department arrived and roped off the scene.

WASHINGTON Something is very wrong with the GOP Dear Colleagues: We’re doing it again. Remember last year’s campaign? Remember how dogged and relentless we were in covering Hillary Clinton’s sloppy handling of her emails? Remember the compar- atively free ride we gave Donald Trump despite his repeated demonstrations that he was unserious, unsound and unfit? Remember all the Leonard Pitts hand wringing afterward about how we had embraced a false equivalence? Apparently, we learned no lesson from that. I keep reading and seeing all these stories on Amer- ica’s political polarization, the great divide between left and right. Ted Koppel did a couple such reports for “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Robert Samuelson wrote a col- umn about it for The Washington Post, Andrew Soergel THE NATION pondered the question in U.S. News & World Report.

Soccer Continued from Page 1B off Chicago on penalty kicks in the round of 16 be- fore a crowd of more than 32,000. Goalkeeper Mitch Hil- debrandt made three saves in the penalty shootout to send Cincinna- ti to the final eight against fellow USL side Miami FC. Cincinnati beat Columbus in the round of 32 before knocking out the Fire. After failing to have a lower division squad reach the quarterfinals in 2016, the tournament is assured of having at least one low- er division team reach the semifinal round. In other action, FC Dal- las beat Colorado 3-1 and advanced to face Sporting Kansas City after its 2-0 win over Houston. New York Red Bulls ousted Philadelphia on penalty kicks and will face New England after its 2-1 win over D.C. United. And San Jose ousted Seattle 2-1 and will face Los Angeles in the quarterfinals. The quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup are sched- uled for the second week of July. In another non-MLS competition, Toronto beat Montreal 3-2 on aggregate in the Canadian Champi- onship thanks to Sebas- tian Giovinco’s goal in the closing seconds of the match. Road rivals Last week’s handful of rivalry showdowns went in the favor of the road teams. The one victory by a road team went to New York City FC and its im- pressive 2-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls. NYCFC got goals from Jack Harrison and Ben Sweat to earn the club’s first points ever against their Hudson River rivals at Red Bull Arena. The Dispatch • www.cdispatch.com THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2017 3B
